Japanese airlines ground Boeing 787s after emergency landing

A Boeing 787 operated by All Nippon Airways in Japan made an emergency landing Wednesday, after crews detected a "burning-like smell" and alarms indicated there was smoke in the forward area of the plane, the Wall Street Journal reports.

The plane's 129 passengers were evacuated, and the Japan Transport Safety Board immediately began to investigate.

The WSJ reports the incident prompted a voluntary grounding of Japan's two Dreamliner fleets, operated by All Nippon and Japan Airlines.

It's the latest in a series of recent incidents for the 787, which has also experienced an on-board fire while parked empty at an airport, plus two fuel leaks.
